It places those lands under conservation management by the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment and records the Gazette notification date (24 October 2012).

This proclamation effectively locks up these nine parcels for environmental protection, preventing them from being used for more intensive purposes."},"summary":{"complexity_score":3,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"Based on the available information, the proclamation has remained unchanged since its commencement on 24 October 2012, with the file last modified in May 2022 (likely an administrative update rather than a substantive amendment).
